Exciting news! From 1st May 2025, I will be starting on the ImProGlyco project with Daniel Ungar and Jamie Wood in York!

This project will be manipulating glycans on cells to enable discovery and production of next generation therapies for cancer, neurodegeneration and other disease families.

Tomorrow, I'm giving away a free copy of my latest 'little book of sunshine', which collects >100 new recipes and reflections on how we survive in difficult times.
To be in the draw, just repost this!

We're looking for a #PhD student for Oct 2025 entry.

If you're interested in a highly interdisciplinary project that aims to develop new approaches for screening protein libraries (e.g. nanobodies) then please get in touch.

4-year, fully-funded studentship via BBSRC Yorkshire Bioscience DTP.

Last night I noticed this giant haploid cerevisiae cell in a plate full of normal cells - so decided to image it overnight. It did nothing for 6 hours then a giant daughter budded and the mother exploded - wtf?

As a constituent in one of the few surviving Tory areas, I didn't expect to feel any local representation during this government, but a nod to the fact that David Davis voted for the assisted dying bill. Did your MP?

Likewise to my last post, Dave Boucher is also a great guy and I heartily recommend this PhD position at Uni of York if you're looking!

PhD position available with Chris Hill at Uni of York. My recommendation - he's a lovely bloke so I'm sure you'd have a great time working with him!

I signed up to Bluesky on 5th July 2023 when Facebook also went into the Twitter business, and until recently it's been like being on the Underground after 11pm. Nice to see the carriage is filling up with so many lovely people now!
